Ashley Young has savaged Manchester United teammate Paul Pogba on Instagram by taking a swipe at the midfielder's penalty-taking technique.

Pogba scored the opener in the Reds' 2-1 Premier League win against Brighton on Saturday afternoon after converting from the spot on 27 minutes.

Marcus Rashford sealed the points on the stroke of half-time with a goal-of-the-season contender, despite Brighton's 72nd-minute reply through Pascal Groß.

Pogba has scored four penalties this season and showcased his eye-catching technique for each of them, with the World Cup winner running up to the ball at a snail's pace in a bid to dupe the opposing goalkeeper.

And Young, who featured at right-back against the Seaguls, let Pogba have it on Instagram with a hilarious post.

"Yep. He's doing that run up again," the 33-year-old captioned a picture of him and Rashford watching on as Pogba scored.

Solskjaer said after the game that he had no issue with Pogba's unorthodox run-up, after overseeing the Reds' seventh win from seven games under his tutelage.

"He scores them so that’s what matters," Solskjaer laughed. "I wouldn’t have done it I would have just ran to the ball and smashed it but he kept his calm having had to wait two minutes to take it and that shows how composed he is. In front of Stretford End why don’t you just enjoy it."

The Norwegian also confirmed that Pogba is his first-choice penalty taker at the club.

"Pogba is the penalty taker but we have players who want to take it," he added. "If they want to take they can argue among themselves but he’s the nominated one."
